The academic year is divided into two semesters with thirteen weeks of classes followed by an examination periode. Check the academic calendar to find out when there are activities, public holidays, exam periods, graduation ceremonies and breaks.

• First session examinations are held at the end of each term. Students are automatically registered for these examinations. 
• Second session examinations (i.e. resits) take place at the end of August and at the beginning of September. If you fail an exam in the first session, you can retake it in the second session. Make sure to register through your Sisa account before the deadline (August 15^th).
  • Go to Requests > New request > Register for second exam session
    
• You cannot register for a second session exam for a course you have already passed in order to improve your score.

As from this academic year, we use Multi-Factor Authentication to verify your identity when logging into UAntwerp platforms.

You have two options: either verification through SMS, based on the mobile number listed in SISA, or by using the authenticator app, which you can install based on your private email address listed in SISA.

The full explanation can be found on this website.

For any issues related to MFA, you should contact the ICT helpdesk at helpdesk@uantwerpen.be.

The University of Antwerp is using the Online Learning Agreement (OLA). During your application process, you will be asked about your contact at the host university. The details are as follows:

• Name: Elke De Smet
• E-mail address: exchange.ow@uantwerpen.be 

Learning Agreements with incorrect contact details may not reach us and, as a result, cannot be processed.

We require incoming exchange students to enroll in a minimum of 21 ECTS credits per semester. We recommend taking no more than 30 ECTS credits to ensure a balanced workload.

Additional details about each programme are available on their respective pages.

Please note that your OLA will not be signed before acceptance. Applications are reviewed after the deadline, and due to a high number of candidates, this process may take some time. Therefore, signing your OLA may take a few weeks after the deadline.
